Cheap Approaches To Save On Your Fuel Cost

By Dana Vargas


Do you drive "the extra mile" to find your fuel at a a little bit cheaper price? Do you hesitate about driving to a place, afraid of what you'll have to pay to refill the tank, with fuel prices mounting all the time? For a last measure you could sell the car and get a bicycle, but before then there are several ways you can make things better.

Thankfully you will find a number of free and easy ways of saving on fuel. For example, you can ensure that your tires are always inflated correctly. Under-inflated tires lead to increased fuel consumption, so you can save gas by just making sure your tires are at the right pressure. Get yourself a tire gauge and get into the habit, which will save you gas without costing anything. It really is worthwhile knowing that what you pay for the fuel you get is affected by what time of day you stop to refuel.

Gas is distributed by the volume, and since liquids expand as they warm, logic would tell you to buy the gas at the coldest part of the day, you will get the best deal. Early mornings are often cold, so purchasing your gas then will let you save gas while avoiding the risk of traffic jams. There are websites that are able to tell you which gasoline stations have the cheapest gas, but if you have to go far out of the way to get it, the purpose will end up being defeated. Lots of people love to wash their car because they enjoy the way a clean car looks, but did you know that washing your car can save you fuel.

A clean car is going to cause less drag, just like swimmers shaving off all of their body hair, or skiers wearing skin-tight racing suits, to go faster. Turn the cleaning of the car into a fun family thing. Water is really a much-loved plaything of children, as long as the weather's pleasant. How many times have you been at a stop light and you revved up your engine to make an impression on somebody? What's sobering is that you use the equivalent amount of fuel as driving for a mile when you rev your engine 15 times. Does not sound like much, until you do it on a constant basis. You may recall that when you find yourself with a car with an empty fuel tank.

You'll get the best gas mileage from your car whenever you service it regularly, much as you may hate the idea. It seems to be a trade-off in the short-term with paying for servicing your car, or paying for extra gas when you car isn't operating good. It really is crucial that your car gets new spark plugs, clean oil in addition to a new or cleaned oil filter and air filter.
